Naming

https://google.github.io/styleguide/go/guide#mixedcaps

Naming is one of the most important aspects of Go development. Writing idiomatic Go requires understanding of its core naming principles.

Identifiers should use camel case: SomeColor or someColor, depending on whether they are visible outside the package or not. Do not use snake case some_color.

Naming conventions:

• Idiomatic Package Naming Conventions.
• Idiomatic Variable Naming Conventions
• Idiomatic Function Naming Conventions
• Idiomatic Struct Naming Conventions
